As we say goodbye to buzzwords like fiscal cliff, spoiler alert, double down and guru, the new predictions are in for the overuse of buzzwords in 2013! BusinessNewsDaily interviewed small business owners, PR people, entrepreneurs and others to give workers a heads up on which buzzwords they may see in the coming year. Time will tell if these fit the mold but they are a good start. The list includes:

Advertainment— Advertising is no longer about interrupting what people are interested in, it's about being what people are interested in.

Phablets— A mixture of a smartphone and tablet.

Growth hacker— A role that replaces traditional marketing roles in fast-growing businesses.

Social learning— An individual's learning a skill through observation, without necessarily changing their behaviors or on-the-job performance.

Alphanista— Successful women in powerful positions having it all.

Acqui-hire— A blend of acquired and hired.

Return on involvement— A brand that gets involved with their community will garner better return on their investment by getting involved hosting fundraisers, partnering with schools and giving the local residents a gathering spot.
